Whiskey Sage – A Winter Cocktail

This handsome devil was a hit at our cocktail party. . .

If ever a drink had it all, this one is it!

This whiskey-sage cocktail has a complex and sophisticated flavor.

Not bad on the eye either!

Sexy.

Spicy rye whiskey lightly sweetened with a simple syrup infused with earthy sage, refreshingly tart grapefruit and lime juices, accented by a couple dashes of bitters to bring out the best in all of it!

Note

This Whiskey Sage Cocktail is a delicious drink to sip on in the cooler winter months. To make sage simple syrup, bring 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water and 1/2 cup roughly chopped sage leaves to boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to completely cool. Strain into container, tightly cover and store in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
